I made this for my family a few days ago. They LOVED it!!!! I was so happy to see my little girls and husband enjoy the recipe on my first try the sauce was perfect and the recipe was so easy to follow. Thank you!!!!

Oohh, this looks similar to one of my favorite foods, herring steaks. Instead of fish fillets we use whole small Atlantic herrings, which are cleaned and then spread out flat like a steak. The bones are so small that they melt during cooking. Now I can try a Korean version of my favorite food, oh happy day! :)

I made this tonight with Talapia because I couldn’t find any cod, but my boys liked it! I also did the battered zucchini slices, the potato side dish and rice, of course. We also tasted spice kimchi for the first time. I think we will try the not-so-spicy and work our way up. ; >

Thanks for this recipe. I had cod fillets in my freezer with no idea what to do with them. I really enjoy salmon and tilapia, I am trying to eat more fish now-a-days than chicken and beef. Great recipe. I really enjoyed it and it was low calorie too!

Hi Maangchi, I just made this at midnight for my Belgian husband’s doshirak tomorrow. I’ve been vegetarian since 1986 but this smells so good I could practically eat it myself :) Thanks for showing me how to cook fish with confidence for my husband, it will make him happy :)

He called to say ‘it’s delicious, you prepared it perfectly’ and I said I got it from your site :) My husband was trained as a chef and just like a French chef, he doesn’t compliment food unless it’s really good. Kamsa hamnida Maangchi!

Alas, we won’t know what his coworkers said because he ate it outside in the park. There was a radish salad which he finds too aromatic for the office, and kongnamul which everyone loves.

Cooked this tonight with cod….oh my goodness it was good! The spouse (who LOVES Korean food) and the twins (who don’t like spicy food in any way, shape, or form) devoured it in minutes!!! I made it with spicy tofu batons (dry tofu sticks rehydrated and sauteed with chiles) and green beans with garlic. Yum!! Everyone cleaned their plates and my husband made a lunch portion for work, so everyone was
VERY happy with our dinner.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, from a mom who has twins who don’t eat anything different (but who devoured their jeon)!

I love your videos and the way you make Korean cooking look so easy. Korean food is my absolute favorite and I have been making it for my kids. They love this jeon. Do you have a video for pajeon seafood pancake? I would love to make it.

I follow your recipes to make dinner for my boyfriend and he loves it! The first time I made this, the cod fillets came out really good. However, the second time did not come out so good. I think the reason was the fillets were too thick so it was hard to cook them completely. So my question is how do you get such thin slices? I’ve tried slicing them into thinner pieces without success. Thanks for reading!

This is so far my favorite dish that I have made by following your videos!
I think cod itself isnt a very tasty fish at all but the cod jeon turned out to be so flavorful and I especially like how you totally taste the garlic in it. This simple recipe turned out surprisingly awesome and you were right, everyone loved it!
Thank you!!!

I make jeon using halibut at midnight last night. I never thought before to fry the fish after flouring and dipping in egg only because I usually dip in breadcrumbs after the egg and then fry. However, egg and flour only was much lighter and used way less oil for frying than if I had also dipped in breadcrumbs. I didn’t add the green onion to the egg but put it in my dipping sauce along with cilantro and more chili. It was very delicious. This was my first Korean recipe and you can be sure I will be making more Korean dishes with your great recipes. Thank you!

haha, cooking at midnight! : )
I’m glad to hear that you like this recipe. yes, I agree with you. “…much lighter and used way less oil for frying than if I had also dipped in breadcrumbs..” I would like to try your dipping sauce with cilantro and chili! I love the flavor of cilantro!!!

I made this tonight and it turned out great! I didn’t have red chili pepper on hand so I used carrots to give some color. My husband is Caucasian and he loves jeon and so does 18 month-old our daughter. I’m going to take pictures of all the Korean food I’ve made and post them on our blog. I’ll let you know when I’ve done that and hope you visit! Thanks!

Hi
Thank you for your videos and recipe. I always wanted to learn how to cook korean food.
I was wondering can you post up a recipe for bo ssam, tang seu yok (the crispy chicken with sweet/sour sauce?) and bi ji gah (?) the (moh jong bean stew…i tried making what my stepmother found on naver and tasted really weird hahaha)

I made jeon last night with cod and it came out great. I also tried a variation of spicy rice cakes, which were also good. I found your website for the first time on Wednesday and have already tried several items. I spent twice my normal amount in my Korean market and will try a few other dishes this week. If I gain extra weight I am going to hold you responsible:)Thank you again for sharing, your warm personailty and love of cooking come out in your videos.

Hi Maangchi! I love your videos!! This recipe looks so good. I am going to try all of them soon. My daughter was adopted from S. Korea and because of that cooking Korean food has become a passion of mine. We also went to Korea this summer for 2 weeks and LOVED it! Thank you so much for doing these videos. They are amazing!Mika and Bailey Young Mee

agasuka,Your jeon looks wonderful! Actually you can use any materials for this recipe. I am glad you always update me with the pictures of the dishes you make. I hope many people stop by your blog and learn about korean dishes from you. Thanks!

In response to your reply from the ‘Bulgogi Stew’ post, to be honest, I will never cook Korean food that well without your wonderful videos. I am your super fan. Again, thank you very much for doing such favor to all of your fans around the world.

I will definitely try this recipe. Do you have any recipes for a whole fish? I have a whole tilapia in the freezer and I want to cook it with korean ingredients, but I don’t have a good recipe. I want to keep the head on it!Thanks.
